Original: The Nannies had brought the children up for readiness for tea, I can’t say if I saw Madeleine when E came back’
Geändert: I collected E*** from the Ocean Club before she went up to tea at the Tapas Bar, I cannot say whether Madeleine was there or not.

One of the changes in Russell's statement deserves special attention in my opinion:

Original: The Nannies had brought the children up for readiness for tea, I can’t say if I saw Madeleine when E came back’
Geändert: I collected E*** from the Ocean Club before she went up to tea at the Tapas Bar, I cannot say whether Madeleine was there or not.

In his first statement he describes how the nannies brought the children, including his daughter Exxx, from the kid's club to the Tapas restaurant in the afternoon of May 3rd. This usually happened around 16:45 followed by the children's dinner in the Tapas between 17:00 and 17:30. In this first statement his focus is to explain that he did not see Madeleine when the children were brought back. In doing so he "forgets" that according to their original statements he had never been there. All previous statements claim that he had already collected Exxx before the children had left the children's club and that she therefore did NOT take part at the children's dinner.

Unfortunately though while depicting the afternoon he had claimed that he only arrived back at the beach from his sailing trip at 16:30 and then had gone for a swim in the ocean. Almost impossible for him to have collected Exxx before 16:45 from the kid's club.

This is a theory that results from the discrepancies and changes in the statement and that tries to interpret these. Had there not been such extensive discrepancies and changes there would be no necessity to try and explain them.

This month sees the
celebration of a Saint's day on November 25th. In France and other
countries it is a custom to wear yellow-green ribbons in honor of the
Saint. Yellow-green as in the wristbands that have so successfully
been sold in a certain online shop to commemorate the disappearance
of a little girl five years ago.

I am going to do a little
online survey about what Saint you think is honored by wearing
yellow-green ribbons:
